We no longer make wool robes.
	Read our WOOL 101 if you plan to buy a wool robe from another seller.
	It can save you money.

 

	We use high quality 8-9 oz mid-weight cotton twill
	One square yard of fabric weighs 8 to 9 oz.
	Each robe weighs 2.5 - 4 lbs depending on size and style
	Pre-washed, pre-shrunk before cutting
	Tight weave--no see-through
	Will BILLOW and FLOW as you sweep past
	We do NOT use flannel, robe fleece or felt

	Robes are very roomy, with plenty of space for the outfit underneath.
	Sleeves hang to the knuckles.
	The hood is extra large.
	Hem is 11-14 feet wide, depending on your height.
	This ain't no skinny bathrobe with a hood tacked on--we're talking major SWEEP.
	Our robes are FULL because that's what looks right!
	Our measurement formula guarantees a perfect length, whatever your height.

 

SLEEVES:

	Are 14 inches (36 cm) wide at arm base to about 16-18 inches (41-46 cm) in width at bottom.
	They are supposed to go past the wrist.
	We turn the arm hems under 3 inches (7 cm) and top stitched, No narrow hemming here!
	The three-inch hems on the sleeves hang great!

 

The Hood:

	Accurate to the ones in the films, with a simple rolled hem.
	Sewn to the robe just the way they did for the film outfits.
	Hood measures 24 inches tall by 20 inches deep. (61 x 51 cm)
	Hangs more than halfway down your back.
	NO TOP SEAM!
	That 48-inch (122 cm) wide frame for your face is great for shade on those missions to desert planets!

 

Closures?  Not here!

	No Velcro, ties, buttons, zippers or hook & eyes were on any robes in the costume exhibits.
	Sounds like a good thing to not have.
	The robes are meant to be worn open.
	Besides, the robes just look cool billowing behind as you walk and turn.

 

 

The Great Shoulder Seam Kerfuffle:

The shoulders on our robes do have a top seam.  Most people truly do not notice; this detail matters to a few, though, so we're letting you know it is there. 

It is in the design to cut down on fabric waste.  Less fabric--and this heavy cotton stuff is NOT cheap!--keeps the price down.  Other robe makers going for seamless shoulders use 8 or more yards of fabric, where we only need about 5 and a half.

And anyway, the very full hood covers up the shoulders.

 

Robes do NOT drag on ground.  

We just used an extra long one for these pics to show off the WIDE hem.
